Attribute Details

active : Bool

Returns or sets the object activeness.

Setting this on or off sets all children. Setting to True sets all the parents active too.

name : Attribute

Returns or sets the name of the object.

It can be any text string, including spaces, although it’s best to avoid using the following characters: ” ‘ * ? and $.

While these characters are allowed, they could create difficulties when you export the model to other applications.

visible : Bool

Determines whether the object is visible in the modeling window.

Setting this on or off sets all children. Setting to True sets all the parents visible too.

Property Details

className()

Returns the class name of the object.

history()

Returns the history object to make note states for Undo/Redo.

model()

Returns the model where this entity belongs to.

parent()

Returns the parent of this entity.

units()

Returns the units used by model.

Method Details

classmethod getClass(cls, className)

Returns the class of the object.

It can be simple or qualified (with namespace). If the name is simple, we prepend the cls.namespace.

param className:
 The class name.
type className:Union[Part, Occurrence, Named..]
returns:The class for the specified className.
rtype:Union[Part, Occurrence, Named..]
classmethod validateClassMbd(cls, validator)

Validates all objects of a type for mbd realization.

Useful, if you want to list all objects in the same error message.

destroy(self)

Destroys the object from the model.

getAllChildren(self, type=None, **kwds)

Returns a list of all children that matches the specified type.

param type:Filter to use to get the children based on object type.
type type:Union[Part, Motor, BoundaryCondition, …]
param **kwds:Additional keyword arguments to match other attributes of the object.
returns:The list of children that satisfy the supplied filters.
rtype:list[Union[Part, Motor, BoundaryCondition, …]]
getChild(self, name=None, recursive=False, **kwds)

Returns the child of the object which matches the specified unique name.

param name:The name of the child object.
type name:str
param recursive:
 Determines whether to search for the child till the maximum recursive depth.
type recursive:bool
param **kwds:Additional keyword arguments to match attributes of the object.
returns:The child object which satisfies the specified filters.
rtype:Union[Part, Motor, BoundaryCondition, …]
getChildren(self, type=None, recursive=False, sorted=False, **kwds)

Returns a list of children that is of the specified type.

param type:Filter to use to get the children based on object type.
type type:Union[Part, Motor, BoundaryCondition, …]
param recursive:
 Determines whether to search for children till the maximum recursive depth.
type recursive:bool
param sorted:Determines whether to sort the children base on id.
type sorted:bool
returns:The list of children that satisfy the supplied filters.
rtype:list[Union[Part, Motor, BoundaryCondition, …]]
getDependents(self, recursive=False, **kwds)

Returns a list of all dependents of the object.

param recursive:
 Determines whether to scan all the dependencies recursively.
type recursive:bool
param **kwds:Additional keyword arguments to match other attributes.
returns:The list of dependencies of the object.
rtype:list[Union[Part, Motor, BoundaryCondition, …]]
getReferences(self, recursive=False, **kwds)

Returns a list of all reference of the object.

param recursive:
 Determines whether to scan all the reference of the references.
type recursive:bool
returns:The list of referenced objects.
rtype:list[Union[Part, Motor, BoundaryCondition, …]]
isa(self, type=None, filter=None, name=None, wildcard=None, **kwds)

Determines if the object matches the specified settings or not.

param type:The type of the object.
type type:Union[Part, Assembly, Contact..]
param filter:Return value of specified callback method.
type filter:method
param name:Name that matches exactly with object name.
type name:str
param wildcard:A pattern to match exactly with the object name.
type wildcard:str
param **kwds:Additional keyword arguments to match other attributes.
returns:True, if a match is found, otherwise False.
rtype:bool
modelPositions(self)

Forces all objects to return the original model positions instead of the current analysis positions.

Useful when defining draw methods on GeneralObjects where behaviour is different while animating.
